Many home improvement projects are best done in spring, but some of them, such as exterior painting, are met with several challenges. That’s because springtime is usually pollen season, which not only triggers allergy symptoms but also negatively affects the project’s results. Masters Roofing, the premier residential roofing and exterior painting company, talks about this more.
How Exterior Painting Is Affected by Pollen Season
Everything is bright and green in spring. However, it’s also around this time when the foliage starts releasing pollen. From trees and shrubs to grasses and weeds, all of them contribute to the high pollen count. In springtime, pollen is actually visible and it’ll stick to—and accumulate on—any available surface. Having your home’s exterior painted this season means expecting that pollen will collect on the wet paint, which will pretty much ruin the job.
Should You Go Ahead and Have It Done Anyway?
Exterior painting during the pollen season is still perfectly doable as long as proper preventive measures are taken. A trusted local contractor like Masters Roofing will know about all of these. You may know us best as the area’s leading roof repair expert, but we can actually work on your exterior painting needs as well. Here’s how we do the job during pollen season:
- We clean the work surface thoroughly using methods specific to the type of exterior material.
- Because the home exterior is vertical, there won’t be enough time for a significant amount of pollen to collect on the surface. We’ll still dust and wipe them down when necessary.
- A fresh coat of paint is applied, making sure it’s done in a consistent and efficient manner.
- Depending on the pollen count that particular day, plus other unforeseen circumstances, we may take additional measures.
